This standard specifies the classification and FTSC codes of commonly used compressed gases. This standard applies to permanent gas, liquefied gas and dissolved gas filled in gas cylinders. This classification and FTSC code reflect the comprehensive safety performance of bottled compressed gas, which helps to identify the commonality and individuality of the gas and prevent confusion. It aims to strengthen the safety design and safety prediction of gas cylinders and gas cylinder accessories, implement safety management of gas filling and use, and guide the orderly expansion of compressed gas. This classification is the basis for mixture preparation. This standard does not apply to fire-fighting gases and adsorption gases.
